Hospital Costs

The hospital fee for your procedure covers the use of the operating theatre, day-stay accommodation and commonly used drugs and dressings. For some procedures, there will also be a charge for prostheses or disposables.

If you have private health insurancewe will claim directly from your health fund.

If you have an excess or gap with your cover you will need to pay this on admission. Your health fund will have advised us directly of the cover they will pay.

If you do not have private health insurance you will need pay the full account on admission.

One or two days prior to admission a staff member from North Shore Specialist Day Hospital will contact you to confirm any hospital costs for your procedure that need to be paid on admission, known as your Informed Financial Consent.

The fee for your surgery cannot be claimed through Medicare.

Payment types

We accept Visa and Mastercard, although do not accept AMEX, personal cheques or Diner's Club.

Specialist, Anaesthetist and Pathology costs

In addition to the Hospital’s fee please be aware that your Specialist, Anaesthetist and Pathologist will send their accounts for their services separately and directly to you.

The Hospital does not handle these accounts and you will need to pay them directly.

Please note that when you receive accounts from these doctors they will list the same item numbers as on your Hospital account, but they are for your Doctor’s services not the Hospital’s costs.

Health insurance

Prior to admission be sure to confirm your level of cover for hospital admission with your health insurance provider. Read more here…
